We are up and running!

 

Here are the latest builds; coupler pads for Atlas RS1s.  I've tried to simulate what the actual coupler system looked like.  Not all railroads had full pilots on their RS1s, NYC included (see picture below), so emulating this was relatively easy.  What's great about these is that there is already a 2-56-sized hole in the pilot in the correct location, so all you need to do is tap it and run a 2-56 x 3/8" machine screw in and DONE!

 

(The gray pilot spacer is actually an Atlas factory 2-rail part, available from AtlasO.com)

So I played it Safe and ordered both. Either way I glad to inadvertently be helping validate the design.  In the next couple of days I take the measurements for the MTH GP pilots and depth of spacer so you can offer an product. Same as for the SD 24 if you want. The redesigned GP 30 fits without modification but still need some adjustments.
